Hi all. Turns out it*the only fault was*a totally failed injector on #5cyl. They are the mechanical type so not very expensive ($88 C.)It had failed so badly it had allowed all the fuel in the line above the injector to bleed into the cyl.......all*the others were full.*Needless to say I've added*one to my on-board spares kit. I'll also dissasemble this one to see what failed.
The opportunity to watch the Cummins tech. work on my motor was priceless. He didn't mind being peppered with questions and had a wealth of knowledge about the 6BTA.......his favourite. learned about some things to watch* for, things he has seen fail in the past, and what to do to prevent it. I'll search the forum to make sure they haven't been covered already before I post.
So we're off to the Thousand Islands area Sat. morning, and the boat has a clean bill of health!
Hope you're all having a great season.
